Tracing symmetries and their breakdown through phases of heterotic (2,2) compactifications
Michael Blaszczyk, Paul-Konstantin Oehlmann
We are considering the class of heterotic Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds with 9 fields corresponding to Gepner models. We classify all of its Abelian discret…
Deforming D-brane models on orbifolds
Isabel Koltermann, Michael Blaszczyk, Gabriele Honecker
We review the stabilisation of complex structure moduli in Type IIA orientifolds, especially on with discrete…
Deformations on Tilted Tori and Moduli Stabilisation at the Orbifold Point
Michael Blaszczyk, Gabriele Honecker, Isabel Koltermann
We discuss deformations of orbifold singularities on tilted tori in the context of Type IIA orientifold model building with D6-branes on special Lagrangian cycles. Starting from $T…
Calabi-Yau compactifications of non-supersymmetric heterotic string theory
Michael Blaszczyk, Stefan Groot Nibbelink, Orestis Loukas +1
Phenomenological explorations of heterotic strings have conventionally focused primarily on the E8xE8 theory. We consider smooth compactifications of all three ten-dimensional hete…
